A promotional picture has emerged of the pop princess looking much paler than her usual colour.

The new photo, taken before the 30-year-old fell pregnant with her newborn daughter, are being used to re-advertise her fourth album, 4, which was released last year.

In the seductive pose, Beyoncé dons a blonde wig and lies on a leopard-print couch, wearing a skimpy black crochet monokini. She also wears suspenders and a lashing of dark red lipstick.

Experts told The Sun the appearance may have been down to lighting used in the studio. Howeverm this is not the first time the wife of rapper Jay-Z has accused of appearing to 'lighten' her skin.'

It has been alleged that in the early days of award-winning band Destiny's Child her father Mathew Knowles had persuaded her to use skin treatments to remain the lightest-complexioned member of the successful girl group.

And some commentators have expressed fears, that these images of the superstar singer - who is famous for her honey-toned hair and complexion, could have the effect of making darker-skinned black girls ashamed of how they look.

In August 2008, cosmetics giant L’Oreal was accused of ‘whitewashing’ the star in an advert by digitally lightening her skin.

And last February, a very blonde Beyonce stepped out, wearing a black minidress which revealed unusually pale skin on the star.

At the time, the cosmetics house denied that the pictures had been altered in such a way but The New York Post newspaper called the advert ‘shocking’ and accused it of making the singer look like a ‘weird, nearly white version of herself’.
Has she got a problem ?

Happens all the time.

Leona looks alot lighter in her pro photos as does Rihanna at times. It's usually just the lighting.

So what? White girls go to tanning salons to try and make themselves look darker, if Beyonce wants to make herself look paler it's up to her.

Why is anyone surprised? They have to cater to the mainstream white audience and we all know everyone likes them cause they're light skin.......









Jokes? :suspect:

aw thanks, but mainstream media doesn't cater to that notion so unfortunately much of their audience will never fully embrace that.
